  • Well done. I did a 4.08.45 with no bottle ejections. In fact I drunk less than a litre from a bladder.

    Is it normal for it to hurt to pee after a 100? Need to sort out a saddle solution as it was a major discomfort.

    Felt I paced it well though, first three 25's were about 62 mins and the last was 63 mins.

    Doubt it. My post-race pee didn't hurt, but by God it was a relief. I'd been busting for a piss since halfway through the second lap.

    As far as I can see from my Strava data, dividing it up into 40km chunks, I did:

    1:00:13
    59:16
    59:27
    58:23

    I was riding to power numbers though, which obviously helps with pacing.

  • great pacing, completely the opposite of my 100, my excuse is that I got scared of blowing up and backed off after 60 miles!

    p.s. that'll buff out!

  • Wow, that's textbook pacing.
    No power meter so I went out with a target, but settled in slightly slower and stuck to that. Broke it down into 20km blocks which left some pretty simple maths to help me distract me from the actual cycling bit.
